{"product_id":"a-history-of-japanese-theatre-jonah-salz-9781107034242","title":"A History of Japanese Theatre","description":"Japan boasts one of the world's oldest, most vibrant and most influential performance traditions. This accessible and complete history provides a comprehensive overview of Japanese theatre and its continuing global influence. Written by eminent international scholars, it spans the full range of dance-theatre genres over the past fifteen hundred years, including noh theatre, bunraku puppet theatre, kabuki theatre, shingeki modern theatre, rakugo storytelling, vanguard butoh dance and media experimentation. The first part addresses traditional genres, their historical trajectories and performance conventions. Part II covers the spectrum of new genres since Meiji (1868-), and Parts III to VI provide discussions of playwriting, architecture, Shakespeare, and interculturalism, situating Japanese elements within their global theatrical context. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and prints, this history features interviews with key modern directors, an overview of historical scholarship in English and Japanese, and a timeline. A further reading list covers a range of multimedia resources to encourage further explorations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonah Salz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107034248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107034242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.06h x 7.03w x 1.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017","brand":"Jonah Salz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947743740159,"sku":"9781107034242","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ea29d709-0b4a-4d8f-b72c-76a87d84ca6c.jpg?v=1681520538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-japanese-theatre-jonah-salz-9781107034242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
